A 21-year old can’t become Speaker – APC Clarifies “A 21 year old cannot become a Speaker; We had a Printing Error in Gazetted Bill that was printed by Govt Printing Department”- HON IBRAHIM BUNDU SPEAKS TO MOHAMED AZONTO KAMARA Hon. Ibrahim Bundu of Constituency 52 in Port Loko District representing the All Peoples Congress (APC) and who is also Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament, has on 10th November 2013, been engaged in a one-on-one interview by ace analyst, Mohamed Azonto Kamara (MAK) over ongoing hot debate for becoming Speaker of Parliament in Sierra Leone. MAK: Honourable Sir, thank you for a chance to have this exclusive chat with you. The first issue is the insistence of your APC, to change the 1991 Constitution so criteria for one to be qualified to be a Judge before being elected as Speaker of Parliament, no longer exists. This means, according to what you now want, anyone who is age 21 years and over and can read and write English, can now preside over our Parliament. Many find this to be a betrayal of the crafters of the 1991 Constitution which ironically, your party enjoys credit for. news.sl/drwebsite/publish/article_200524137.shtml
